Am I right if I say that the only thing affecting normal melee attack speed is determined by weapon type only, not by weapon material if perks not included?
Yes. I can confirm this. All swords have same attack speed. All daggers have same attack speed.
Weapon weight affects stamina used but not attack speed when striking?
I did not know this. I never found this out because I don't use power attack that much, and when I do stamina is free with vegetable soup. I do not invest in stamina.
